One of Fewer Than 10 AACD-Accredited Dentists in North Carolina
Dr. Pinnix is an Accredited Member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, a distinction earned by only a small number of dentists nationwide and fewer than 10 in the entire state of North Carolina. This accreditation is not based on reputation or years in practice; it is earned through an extensive, peer-reviewed evaluation of real patient cases.
AACD accreditation represents the most rigorous credential in cosmetic dentistry. When you’re making decisions about your smile, this level of training and validation helps ensure your care is based on precision, experience, and results you can feel confident in.
What AACD Accreditation Means for You
- Multiple completed cases submitted for blind peer review
- Cases evaluated by AACD examiners
- Accreditation maintained through continued education and standards compliance
- Decisions assessed for diagnosis, planning, occlusion, and durability, not appearance alone
A Beautiful Smile Transformation
With Porcelain Veneers
This patient’s smile showed visible wear, uneven proportions, and discoloration that affected both appearance and confidence. Dr. Pinnix addressed these concerns with a carefully planned set of custom porcelain veneers, designed to restore balance, brightness, and natural tooth shape.
Comprehensive Care,
Proven Across Real Patient Smiles
Advanced Dentistry for Every Stage of Your Smile
A Calmer, More Comfortable
Dental Experience

See Your New Smile
Before Treatment Begins
Confidence comes from knowing what to expect. Our digital smile design process allows you to preview your results before treatment starts, so decisions feel clear, collaborative, and intentional.
Using advanced digital imaging, we create realistic simulations of your smile and invite your input before moving forward. This ensures your treatment plan reflects your goals, preferences, and facial features, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
With tools such as 3D cone-beam imaging and intraoral scanning, we can precisely plan restorations and deliver results that look natural, balanced, and thoughtfully designed.

A Second Location

Founded with the vision and guidance of Dr. John M. Pinnix IV and Dr. George A. Betancourt, Precision Dental Partners operates as an independent, patient-focused practice.

- Convenient access to comprehensive dental care in South Charlotte
- A collaborative, non-corporate practice environment
- A long-term approach focused on health, function, and longevity
For patients who prefer care closer to Ballantyne, Precision Dental Partners offers an excellent option built on the same philosophy, standards, and commitment to patient-centered dentistry.
